Morning all lovely scrappers. For todays layout I have used a challenge at Flying Unicorn for my inspiration. The challenge was to use tissue paper. Here I have made all the pink tissue flowers. HERE IS HOW.

I took a tim holtz tattered florals die and some pink tissue and cut through lots of layers at once. I scrunched them up in different sizes, added some hot glue to the centres and just squished together. Easy peasy and I think they look quite pretty.

I then added some textured paste to give a snowy effect. It was snowing a blizzard at the time! I used the texture paste to make the brick wall by stippling through a stencil. I used the tim holtz clock die and textured that and inked the edges. I also used a tim holtz die for the little robin. I used inks to colour him in.

Step 6 - Make another small matt using pretty paper. I used music paper. Ink the edges and matt. Attach in the bottom left corner. Add a strip of co-ordinating ribbon, I used black grosgrain with white stitching.

Step 7 - Attach a peice of lace below the ribbon.

Step 8 - Choose some co-ordinating embellishments.

Step 9 - I added some gems below the music paper. (these came on a strip).

Hi lovely scrappers. Here is a layout I have done using a sketch from Flying Unicorn for my inspiration.
I used some pretty background paper from Graphic 45 - A ladies diary collection - Moment in time.
I cut this down to 11.5 inches and matted it onto some plain black cardstock.
I then matted my photo in peach then black, and made another matt using peach, cream and black.
I adhered both these down then started to embellish.
I started with the largest flower first, then added smaller flowers to the sides.
I then added two of my handmade vines and glued all this down with a heat gun.
I added two labels for my journalling, which I cut out using a Tim Holtz die.
I typed up the title, matted it and glued this down.
I loved this sketch as it is quite simple and easy to do. I hope you give it a go. See link below.
